i was an anthropology and gender studies major and got into NYCPM...so, as long as you take the pre-reqs and have a decent gpa..i dont think they are going to look down upon you b/c you are a psych. if anything, it might play in your favor not to be a science major like most of the applicants

just my 2 cents

your major in college does not matter one lick.

As long as you did well in your major and in the pre-reqs that is all that matters.

If you choose a major like engineering or pharm because it looks hard but then get a 2.0 average - well then it still looks bad and it looks like you were not even interested in your major.

I am beginning my third year at NYCPM and I majored in Psychology at SUNY Albany. As many people have previously stated, the major does not matter as long as you have the pre-requisites (general chem, organic chem, physics, and general biology.)

Personally, I would recommend taking Biochemistry in undergrad if at all possible. Biochem is taken the first semester then you enter NYCPM and it is typically the most difficult course of your first semester.
